TaqMan-Based Detection of <i>Trichomonas vaginalis</i> DNA from Female Genital Specimens
1 Nov 2001
Abstract excerpt
A double-labeled fluorescent probe was designed and evaluated for detecting Trichomonas vaginalis DNA in a 5' nuclease (TaqMan) assay. The T. vaginalis-specific probe contains a 5'-fluorescein (5'-FAM) and a 3'-rhodamine (TAMRA) derivative. Female genital secretions were collected on Amplicor (Roche Molecular, Indianapolis, Ind.) swabs and by a transport system used for Chlamydia trachomatis and/or Neisseria...
